Nato troops on ground will strike fatal blow against Putin | James Heappey

Putin must also return all land taken from Ukraine including Crimea. Putin should not gain anything from attacking Ukraine. That was the problem in the past, that we all in the west just let him do that for the last 24 years.

It seems like for most west Europeans the Ukraine war is just a nuisance temporarily disrupting their supply of gas & oil from their long term friend, Vladimir Putin.

They are also tolerating Putin’s hauling the sanctioned oil over the Baltic although it’s an inside NATO sea. Altogether a rather disappointing hypocrisy.

The best intelligence agencies have figured all possible scenarios and decided against getting NATO directly involved, look at all the weaker countries you are used to bullying, they couldn't fight back, NATO has met a peer and we know attacking RUSSIA as collective, would trigger use of nuclear weapons immediately and for what would you want to end the world, UKRAINE?

[@stancromer3362]

This war can't be won by tinkering around with increasing defense spending to 3.5% when in reality it should be 5% until this war is over and Russia is out of Ukraine. Then the defense spending could be reduced back down to 3.5% in order to create a viable deterrence to potential future Russian aggression. After all, this war is in Europe and is not a direct threat to America. It's long past time for the EU nations, and NATO countries in particular, to pay their fair share on defense and be less dependent on the US..

Ukraine’s army chief condemned on Monday a spate of violent attacks on draft officers, rallying in defence of a national call-up effort that has fueled anger among some Ukrainians and struggled to generate sufficient frontline manpower. The incidents, including the fatal shooting of a draft officer and explosions at two draft offices in three days, pile pressure on an already-troubled national campaign to draft civilians despite faltering enthusiasm for service.
